OLSON: Palin-osis spreads among some liberal women, by Doug Olson, Local Guest Columnist
In which a male “former teacher” (ouch) endeavors to speaks for womankind, while in the process pole vaulting over the thin line that separates satire from mean-spirited bile of the sort that currently is poisoning the presidential campaign.
Here’s a sneering snippet.
Palinosis is a near-fatal, always traumatic malady occurring in epidemic proportions among aging, left-wing “feminazis” (a little Rush Limbaugh lingo here) that long ago bought into the notion that all men were sexist pigs bent only on keeping women ignorant, barefoot and pregnant. In other words, women that are suddenly realizing they’ve been living a toxic lie for the last 30 years or so.
Presumably only Healthblogger is laughing.
The mystery to me is what the newspaper has to gain from encouraging sexist diatribes, but perhaps it’s just another sad measure of how far the level of discourse in America has fallen … or how few reasonable local people are willing to aply for the position of local guest columnist.
